not it wouldn't. it takes no effort at all to see what people expect or game these tests.
Demonstrates why it is a crap way of testing people. (I often look up answers on Stack Overflow to save time/ thinking. I also answer a fair few questions on Stack overflow as well).
Why would the test be difficult and not just automatic as you push a button?
I'm not surprised, the test seemed very subjective.
Are all the tests canned? Wouldn't people be able to figure them out ahead of time and prepare the right answers?
It's an intelligence test of sorts. Unfortunately lots of people fail that test.
That's not what the test is supposed to measure.
The problem is that you’re not smarter than me so why should I trust your test?
Sure it's possible, but that's asking a lot just to take a test.
Weird that they provide a button to improve your score.. wouldn't that mess with their results if many people retest themselves
